8.15pm An unbeaten 96 off 55 for Shaun Marsh who was dropped by Matthew Gilkes off Gurinder Sandhu when he was yet to open his account. But he and Mitchell Marsh then added 58 for the second wicket, and an unbroken 60 for the fifth with Nick Hobson to take Scorchers to 181 for 4. Chris Green was the most successful bowler, picking up 2 for 35. Don't go far away, we will be back with the chase soon.

Stephen Jones: "No disrespect to Hobson but surely coulter-Nile should have come in at 6 ."

Paul AJ Saw: "I'm so confused why McAndrew is only going to get a max of 2 overs, with 1/4. That's if he'll bowl his 2nd over. Devcich shouldn't have bowled and Sams is getting carted. Poor captaincy by Watson."
